Wu Chen saw this scene and could not maintain his usual smile. He stared at Jiang Huai and said, “You know very well how you married Xia Xia three years ago. I’m back this time to take her away!”

“Then, you can try.”

Jiang Huai dragged Yan Xia out of the room, not caring that Yan Xia’s mermaid dress wouldn’t allow her to keep up.

Yan Xia stumbled along with Jiang Huai until they reached an empty corner.

“So you have your old lover backing you up, that’s why you dare to be so presumptuous today.”

Yan Xia looked at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer to her. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed, and it was his angry face.

Yan Xia knew it was useless to resist.

His kisses landed on her exposed skin, and soon, blue and purple hickeys appeared.

Yan Xia suddenly felt a wave of fear. Her stomach began to churn with fear. She felt like vomiting.

She placed a pair of soft hands between the two of them in resistance.

“I don’t want to.”

She was clearly begging for mercy, but it seemed to have ignited Jiang Huai’s anger once again. His actions no longer had a trace of mercy.

The haute couture white skirt was torn at the thigh. There was almost no foreplay or act of possession in his actions.

After the deed was done, Jiang Huai let go of her and let her fall to the ground, looking down at her.

“Don’t forget what you’ve done to me. You’ll have to pay for it with your entire life! Don’t think I’ll let you off!” Then, he threw his black suit jacket on Yan Xia and walked away.

Jiang Huai must have informed Mother Yan on purpose as she came to look for Yan Xia not long after.

Mother Yan looked at the patch of hickeys on Yan Xia’s neck and understood what he meant. Her smile became more and more ambiguous.

“You see, Young Master Jiang still loves you. You have to work hard. Although our family has survived the crisis, we’re still in a slump and we still need the Jiang family’s help in many areas. If you have a child, the Jiang family will listen to you.”

“Enough!” Yan Xia felt tired and did not want to hear these words anymore. She could not help but shout.

She wrapped her suit jacket tightly around herself and turned around to wait for Jiang Huai in the car.

However, Jiang Huai did not return home that night. The chauffeur sent Yan Xia home alone.

They had been married for three years and it was rare for Jiang Huai not to return home like this. Although he was very busy with work and worked overtime sometimes, he would come back before 8 o’clock at the latest.

He rarely accepted social engagements, unless he could not decline them.

Hence, Yan Xia had always thought that Jiang Huai was a boring person.

However, he could also be an excellent husband who would not mess around and give his wife a sense of security.

It was a pity that she was not the best wife in his heart.

That night, Yan Xia felt an unbearable pain in her stomach. After a while, she was covered in sweat and curled up in the quilt, with no one around her.

It was only at times like this that Yan Xia dared to let herself think about Jiang Huai. How she wished that he could be by her side and take care of her gently.

It was like a dream.

Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the last bit of moonlight. The air was particularly heavy, as if a storm was coming.

Yan Xia had already passed out from the pain. The servants had only called Mother Jiang when they realized something was wrong.

The first thing Liang Lan did was to call Jiang Huai home and inform the family doctor to come over to treat Yan Xia.

When Yan Xia finally opened her eyes, Jiang Huai was the only one left in the room.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought. He stood tall and straight, but his back looked a little lonely, making people want to hug him.

Yan Xia wanted to sit up but she had no strength. She coughed softly as her stomach ached.

Jiang Huai turned around when he heard her voice. He frowned when he saw her struggling to sit up.

“What kind of trouble are you trying to give me?”

He walked closer to Yan Xia and pulled her up by the arm.

Yan Xia frowned in pain.

“I’m a patient, can you be gentler?”

She had only said this as a joke.

However, for some reason, she made Jiang Huai angry again.

He said sarcastically, “This is your trick? Just because I didn’t come home, you pretended to have a stomachache and got mother to call me and force me to come home?”

Yan Xia was stunned. She did not expect him to think that her illness was another scheme.
